The corona discharge , its properties and specific uses
نویسنده
چکیده
The main properties of corona discharges are reviewed, with emphasis on the features which make them unique for use as non-equilibrium chemical reactors : Their stability and ease of operation over a wide range of gases and pressures, including atmospheric ; their sharply confined ionization regions where hot electrons interact with cold gas, inducing reactions without back reactions ; and their extended low field drift regions which act as gaseous electrolytes, inducing electrochemical reactions on surfaces. Present and future applications are discussed : Synthesis of ozone and ammonia, promotion of flames and combustion, surface treatment, and electrical insulation improvement.

متن کاملCorona discharges: fundamentals and diagnostics
Introduction Corona discharges are discussed in this paper as one example of pulsed atmospheric discharges. Other configurations used are the dielectric barrier and the packed bed reactor. Here only the volume discharge will be discussed and not the surface discharge that also plays a role in these last two cases. The paper is divided in two parts. Fundamental processes that are important in co...

متن کاملKinetic Model Study of Dry Reforming of Methane Using Cold Plasma
ABSTRACT In this work, the dry reforming of methane was studied using a corona and glow discharge plasma microreactors. A chemical kinetic model was developed to understand the reaction better. The modelization allowed prediction of the reactants conversion according to the energy transfer to the gas (P×τ). The β value is trait of the energy cost, whatever this value was leeser indicated ...
متن کاملPhoto-triggering and secondary electron produced ionization in electric discharge ArF* excimer lasers
Electric discharge excimer lasers are sustained in multi-atmosphere attaching gas mixtures that are typically preionized to enable a reproducible, uniform glow, which maximizes optical quality and gain. This preionization is often accomplished using UV light produced by a corona discharge within the plasma cavity. To quantify the relationship between corona discharge properties and those of the...
